Ouch. A large OpenStreetMap group has been using a proprietary chat platform as a community space for ~10 yrs. Now they gotta pay a $80k/yr (or $10k??) for usage. 🤯😱😢

Slack (now Salesforce) now wants to charge npub129da8flfjrs25r3dhcrnyzkge8sa7ld6k3m2rmd0fv7su7n3ee2qp99wll (npub129d…9wll) for all ~6k users on their server. 😢😢 Ouch.

This sort of bait & switch is why open, community owned platforms (like this!) are vital!
